  • 4.1: A couple of gents describe Anne's coronation. Cranmer was there and performed the ceremony along with Gardiner.
  • 5.1: Henry warns Cranmer that Gardiner and co are out to get him. Cranmer isn't worried, but Henry thinks it doesn't bode well for the Archbishop. Then an Old Lady enters and tells Henry the good news: Anne just delivered a baby girl. Henry was hoping for a boy.
  • 5.2: Along with his doctor, Henry watches as the council meeting against Cranmer begins, only they can't see him watching.
  • 5.3: Gardiner is out for blood. He wants to throw Cranmer in the Tower and throw away the key. Not on Henry's watch. He enters the council meeting and gets mad at the members for treating Cranmer this way. Then he encourages (read: forces) everyone to play nice.
